Analysis

The top match of Serie A

There is not only a top derby in the German Bundesliga this weekend, but also in Italian Serie A. On Saturday league leader Juventus Turin plays against third ranked Napoli. Kick-off is October 29 at 8.45 PM.

Current form Juventus Turin

The top teams of Italian Serie A have gotten closer together again, mostly due to Juventus Turin’s loss against AC Milan last weekend (0:1). Even though Massimiliano Allegri’s team went back on the road of success with a 4:1 win against Sampdoria Genua last Wednesday, the game against Milan showed that Juve is currently struggling against stronger teams. One could also see that in the game against Inter Milan, which was also lost 1:2. In difficult games Turin is not efficient enough. Against Milan they shot at the goal 18 times, but weren’t able to score. So their 55% ball possession has been left unused. Paolo Dybala, who is one of the most dangerous players on the team, is questionable for Saturday’s game. That’s why Juve will mainly count on Gonzalo Higuain, who wants to overcome his jam against his former club. It’s also not sure, whether captain Gianluigi Buffon will be able to play against Napoli. The Allegri-Eleven has been dangerous in standard situations lately though. Giorgio Chiellini was successful twice after such in the game against Sampdoria. It’s also positive that Juventus has not lost a point at home in the league yet. They only had to take one draw in the Champions League against Sevilla.

Current form SSC Napoli

SSC Napoli also lost a very important game in the last couple of weeks. We are talking about the 1:3 loss to AS Rome, which enabled the club from the capital to surpass the Sarri-Eleven in the rankings. Before that they also weren’t able to win against Atalanta Bergamo (0:1). At least Napoli could win their last two league games against Crotone (2:1) and FC Empoli (2:0). Performance wise the team from South Italy has already been better this season however. Coach Sarri especially needs to improvise on offense currently, because Milik’s (injured) replacement Gabiadini is suspended. Against Empoli Dries Mertens played at the front and was able to score a goal immediately. Like their opponent Juventus Napoli also is strong in standards. The fact that both goals against empoli were scored after out of standard situations proves that. It’s also positive that the southern Italians have performed pretty well in away games so far. They only lost one of six away games in 2016/2017. Last season’s balance against Juve is even. Napoli won their home game and lost in Turin.

Betting forecast

Napoli has not been very successful lately from the game and they lost two of their last four league games. Juventus on the other hand even was the better team in the lost game against Milan, but they didn’t reward themselves for the effort. We believe that they will be able to that on Saturday however. Our recommendation: Tip 1.
